Days after Michigan made the cut for one of its top targets in the 2021 class, it appears that ship has sailed.

The Wolverines, led by cornerbacks coach Mike Zordich, have been all over Lehigh Acres (FL) Senior four-star cornerback Omarion Cooper, and were rewarded by making his Top 6, along with Penn State, Louisville, Florida State, Texas and South Carolina. However, it wasn’t long lasting.

Cooper apparently chose to stay closer to home, as he announced on Twitter on Sunday that he was pledging to the Seminoles just six days after the maize and blue and the others made his top group.

Michigan currently has one cornerback committed in 2021 in Fort Lauderdale (FL) St. Thomas Aquinas three-star JaDen McBurrows.

With Cooper off the board, the Wolverines will be that much more in pursuit of Tyreek Chappell, Ceyair Wright, Duce Chestnut and AJ Green.
